[Bug 438658] Re: GW6C does not install a gw6c.conf file

[Vin Shankar]

Description updated - gw6c now looks for a config file, but none is
installed by default, as Thomas and Ezra have noted.

At least I was able to copy in my old gw6c.conf from another machine and
have it work now...

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gw6c
  
- In tspc, the package gw6c replaces, the init script is set up to pass an
- argument to tspc to read configuration from /etc/tsp/tspc.conf - gw6c's
- config file should be called "gw6c.conf", so a suggested location would
- be /etc/gw6c.  However, the init script or gw6c does not provide a
- location for a config file, meaning that a customised config file cannot
- be used eg if a user wishes to use their freenet6 account rather than an
- anonymous tunnel.
+ background: gw6c requires a config file, which should be installed as
+ /etc/gw6c/gw6c.conf to run.
  
- This conflicts with the fact that the gw6c package installs a manpage
- and example for gw6c.conf.
+ Expected behaviour: gw6c package installs a basic config file, providing
+ an anonymous single-host tunnel and with any ubuntu-specific changes, is
+ installed at /etc/gw6c/gw6c.conf
+ 
+ Actual behaviour: No config file installed.  An example, which requires
+ modification to be usable even for anonymous connections, is installed
+ (gzipped) at /usr/share/doc/gw6c/examples/gw6c.conf.sample.gz but many
+ users would not know where to find this, and no documentation is
+ provided explaining the correct location for the config file.
